Sew a 60 Degree Triangle Table Runner

Welcome to my post for The Winter Blues Blog Hop.
Carla, from Creatin' in the Sticks 
has such great blog hop ideas. 
Thanks, Carla!
I'm glad to join all the others who 
are posting a project this week. 
I hope you have been able to see 
all the wonderful projects that have been shown 


My Winter Blues project is the table runner, shown above.


I made it with some of this beautiful blue snowflake border print fabric I bought a few years ago. 
A table runner using 
mitering 60-degree triangles from the border print
was always the plan. 

I searched on YouTube to find a tutorial using the words: 
"border print table runner 60 degree triangle".
I found many choices. 
Here are a few of tutorials I liked:







My table runner was completed in a day.
I suggest you use pins to match any lines on the miters.
Be sure not to stretch the bias edges as you sew. 


Thank you for visiting. 
I hope the blog hop has wiped away any winter blues you might have had.

    Good Morning Nancy! I've been playing around with 60 degree triangles as well. This is a lovely table runner and the layout with the border fabric is so darn cool. I have some border fabric similar but not in a winter-theme. You are definitely inspiring me to finally use it up and replicate your wonderful example. Thank you for the inspiration! ~smile~ Roseanne

    What this hop has done for me is added way too many ideas to my every growing must do list. As for your tablerunner, it is wonderful. I've done a table topper in 60 degree pieces which gave me the center of your piece but a full runner is so much cooler. Yep you have inspired me.

    The winter blues have definitely lifted after seeing yours and all the other projects. I recently bought a 60 degree ruler to make a one block wonder so I was pleased to see all the links so I can utilize the ruler more. Great runner.
